New reports have emerged regarding Candice LeRae, who made her return to WWE very recently.
The superstar completed her return to the Stamford-based promotion this past week on Monday Night Raw. She took on Nikki A.S.H. and defeated the latter in her main roster debut. Her previous spell in Vince McMahon's company started in 2017 and lasted five years. She parted ways with WWE when her contract expired on May 6, 2022. However, she was on maternity leave during the time she was released.
There were speculations about the former NXT Superstar making a move to AEW considering her close relationship with The Young Bucks in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. According to a new report from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there were quite a few in the Jacksonville-based promotion who batted for Candice's AEW signing. It has also come to light that the 37-year-old's husband Johnny Gargano's comeback to WWE on the August 22nd edition of RAW closed the case for Tony Khan.
